Coffee guide

EUDR for coffee

Coffee is a core EUDR commodity. Product scope, origin geolocation, supplier evidence and the 2026 addition of soluble coffee all matter for implementation.

Which coffee products are relevant?

Coffee under heading 0901 is a core EUDR product group. The 2026 Annex I update also added soluble coffee extracts under CN 2101 11 00, with the later application date for that newly added product.

What coffee importers need from suppliers

  • Exact product and CN/HS classification.
  • Country and plot of coffee production.
  • Geolocation linked to the shipment or batch.
  • Producer and supplier identity.
  • Production date or time range where relevant.
  • Legality and deforestation-free supporting evidence.
Soluble coffee: do not rely on an old Annex I list. The 2026 update added CN 2101 11 00 with a later application date.

Common coffee workflow problems

Typical issues include mixing beans from many farms without a reliable batch-to-plot link, confusing exporter location with farm origin, and using a certification file without confirming the underlying geolocation and production evidence.

Recommended workflow

  1. Check exact CN code.
  2. Identify all relevant production plots.
  3. Validate geolocation data.
  4. Check country benchmarking.
  5. Review evidence quality and complete due diligence.
